6:06 pm
grace. >> reporter: liz, the way it worked in the past is that money has been given out by the state. they said how many students a district had and the grade level they're in. but now the governor wants to give more money to low income districts because he says they are at a disadvantage. so we talked to some school officials from both sides of the issue and they say they actually agree that it sounds great in principle, but not in practice. >> everybody say drizzle. >> drizzle. >> reporter: the lesson for today is about inequality. that could soon be the basis for the way the state pays for schools. the governor wants to change the funding formula for students and it could mean districts like richmond would get a lot more money for its low income and non-english- speaking students. and it would mean millions less to places like san mateo high school. its school board president peter hanley says that new formula could cost his district $4 million. >> that's a lot of money. you're talking 5, 6, 7% of our
6:07 pm
general fund would disappear. >> growing up in compton or richmond is not like it is to grow up in los gatos or beverly hills or piedmont. so we recognize that. that is controversial. but it is fair. it's right. and it's just. >> reporter: governor brown says he is actually trying to level the playing field for the next generation. income inequality is growing in california and he believes helping low income students now will help bridge that divide in the long run. >> the governor's plan has some merit. the idea that -- that certain students cost more to educate than other students is valid. i don't think many people dispute that. it's a matter of how do you implement that? and how do you pay for it? and that's where that rubber hits the road. >> it's kind of hard. it has to be fair across the
6:08 pm
board, it doesn't matter what student or what income level they're at. >> reporter: even though it would benefit schools in the west contra costa unified school district, charles ramsey believes that the governor's plan will only breed bitterness. >> how is it going to accomplish that? i don't think it's fair to say to other school districts that they should lose their funding to help us. i just don't support that kind of proposal. >> reporter: and if you are wondering to what happened to all that additional sales tax that you just passed for education? it is going to schools but because there were so many cuts in the last five years, this only brings the schools back to where they started so just at zero. i'm grace lee, cbs 5. on the higher education front it appears governor brown's budget plan will prevent a tuition hike at ucs next school year. the proposal includes an additional $250 million to the uc system. a uc spokesman tells the "sacramento bee" they are excited about the proposal.
